Dye your hair in dragon country

[htownfootball]

i was watching some videos on SLC on insidetexasfootball.com and i noticed that most everyone on the slc roster has their hair dyed blonde why is this, it some dallas/fw north texas suburban fashion or a team thing?

[eagleike]

Down here in Houston it's called a Montrose thing.

It's a post season (playoff) football team unity thing. (Although, I know of one 4X400 team that did it also) It's done by the players, for the players, and for no one else.

[dragonsdaddy]

it's a po thing. seems like it has been going on since dodge got here, but maybe the year after. nothing like 12-15 big ole boys in your house with their dye stinking up the air and arguing about the different kinds of dyes. it may not set them apart as much as they'd like, but they seem to have had some little success doing it so i suspect you'll be seeing it again in november and december.

That made my day. :D

[LP Pride]

The Woodville baseball team did it this year and won a state title. Maybe that's the trick :D

[htownfootball]

hahaha a montrose thing...funniest reply ever.
well ive never seen a football player ever in katy, texas or galena park by north shore and they've had their share of football glory in 5a texas football themselves.
must be a dallas thing, but down in houston its just a, in eagleike's words, a montrose thing.

[GOBIGIKE#1]

Great One eagleike! You get two big swoops for that one!

[dragonsdaddy]

no, it's a slc thing, as stated above.

[mtbray]

no, it's a slc thing, as stated above.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that. It's not like they patented it or something.

My senior year the baseball team shaved all their heads, looked stupid, but whatever floats your boat.

I'd say it's a unity thing, not an SLC thing.

[wide-e-wide]

Considering it had been done approx. eleventy-billion times before they did it...I'd say it's hardly a SLC thang. And while we are on this subject...can we stop with the t-shirts that have the word "thang" on them...(Lufkin included) it's tired and stupid.

[dragonsdaddy]

we may not be the only group that does it, we are just the only one that gets the pub and thus the grief over it. in this thread, it's an slc thing. ask the h-town rep why he brought up this tired subject.

If you ever drop anything in the Montrose area...you better kick it all the way to Kirby before you pick it up!.... :rolleyes:

Exactly!

[dentonRYAN]

do all the players do this.? ...

[dragonsdaddy]

almost all do.

[JC73]

It's all about tradition. I think people make too big a deal about it. I agree with a SLC poster that if they weren't who they are and haven't had the success they have had, nobody would care. I personally thought it was kind of neat see all of them look the same.

[wide-e-wide]

almost all do.

There is always that one straight guy that refuses to do it.

[dragons08]

my bros baseball team did it this past week for the Triple Crown World Series thing in colorado, i think he said it was for team unity

[dragonsdaddy]

yeah, and surprisingly enough, it usually turns out to be one of the black players. i can't say as i blame them. as bad a look as it is on the white guys, there is almost no way to carry it off if you are black. even the worm couldn't do it. every one seems to handle it ok, but i feel bad for the odd guy out in this situation. i guess in reality, the black kids at slc grow up understanding about being in the minority more than in most situations. there has never been any racial insensitivities that i have witnessed, but the numbers speak for themselves. one of my middle son's best friend signed with southern to play baseball, but couldn't handle the transition very well. it was tough going from being one of the only black kids in an all white school to one of the only "white" kids in an all black one. he's doing ok now as he's finishing up his assoc degree before heading to texas state.

[drgnbkr]

Yeah, he commutes from Oaklawn.....

[wide-e-wide]

Now see ...that's how two smart@'s are supposed to communicate.
It doesn't always have to get ugly. Good one drgnbkr...that was funny.

[CoppellCowboy57]

Only the black kids dont die there hair...for good reason 2...

[RedRage00]

He aint so straight...the most homophobic guys are usually the biggest queens :p

[LeanderLions3033]

I know southlake Carroll has very few if any african american players year in and year out, but i know Nate Newton's son is black (obviously lol), so do the black athletes at SLC dye their hair as well. Because everytime i've tried to picture it, it looks more and more ridiculous. I know its a team unity thing, but white people can pull this type of thing off. If Dallas Carter's entire team grew out an afro, this would be something SLC wouldnt be able to pull off. Please tell me that i'm right when i assume that the african american athletes do not take part in this bleaching of the hair?

[LeanderLions3033]

^^dang, i posted without reading the rest of the thread. Thats my bad...

[Bilbo]

Question - Why don't they dye their hair green instead of blond? I thought the blonde looked kind of funny being that their color is green.

tired subject? ok sure i was just curious sincei saw that video i had never seen a whole football team do something like that. wow dont get mad at me for bringing up a subject that i had no intention of having gay jokes etc go everywhere...they are funny but dont blame me for them cause i was just curious.

I dont think green hair dye is allowed at school, and who would want to have green hair for 6 weeks???? Also try and find a green hair dye that last more than a day.

[RedRage00]

Yeah I did not think of that...the school would not allow green hair.

ok sorry dragon06 kid we're not all experts on hair dye and fashion

[implacable44]

who cares? blonde hair - all bald - this has been going on for many moons. UNITY - and although some of these green bloods convince themselves they are the trendsetters - they aren't. I mean you just know that this year when SV is running through DII and they all go with black hair some greenblood will get on here and say how they are copying the Dragons. WHATEVER.

Only if they finally win a state title, would they be copying the Dragons.....

God I want to respond to that...but I can't....It would get ugly.
Good luck this year.

[JC73]

I'll respond, I am a SV fan, and I, like MOST of the SV posters have given nothing but praise to the Dragons. Crappy statement man.

dennis rodman dyed his hair blonde....
it looked cute on him....
so why exclude the afro minority from
such a great tredition?

[dragonsdaddy]

there's no exclusion. pretty much each players choice. last year all the black players went with the dye job.

[southlake thug]

who cares... we won every game

[dragonsdaddy]

i guess that is a great answer-scoreboard.

[dragons08]

yup, had to do that against coppell, when their saying all that stuff to us, and they were saying it 2 the band, coppell, one tough school let me tell you... :D

[JC73]

It will all come around Dragons. You won't win forever. Enjoy it now while you are the best. Dyed hair and all. :D

It's kind of funny to read the insuations that the Southlake players are gay. So, that implies that a bunch of **** have been kicking the crap out of the rest of Texas the past 3 years? Doesn't speak well for Texas high school football does it? :rolleyes:

just when i thought this thread couldn't get any funnier, along came this! :D
lol :D good one odessapermian.

the year before last i remember that one of the black players for slc didn't dye his hair only because he was going for college interviews and thought it wouldn't look good for that. otherwise he said he would have dyed it.

So he was fake huh?....I don't give a (bleep) if I was eating breakfast with W himself...if you have "unity" you have "unity" look up the word....it doesn't say we are all one...unless I have an interview....then all you blonde flamers are on your own....yeah he made a good point...

[southlake thug]

how does that make him fake? the fact that he wanted to get into a good college? and yes some colleges do take into account personal appearance. i think that is a very difficult situation to be put into and it would be very unfair to criticize him.

You would think a college would want a guy that believed in team "unity"
and went to that extreme to prove it....
SLC is quickly becoming HS football's version of aggy...

Dang Wide, we're on the opposite of everything....your a Cowboy fan, I'm a Redskin fan....your a Longhorn, I'm an Ag.

[htownfootball]

wow wide its not that big a deal ...slc did not give a sh*t about whether he dyed his hair or not cause im sure they cared more if he went on to play college ball and look nice for an interview wow are you kidding me is that so much to ask...teams are also about helping other players and if they blonde dye wouldve looked bad for him with scouts then dont put it on ur team wont care if theyre as unified and together as they claim to be whcih i bet they are with barely under 3 state titles in 3 years.

I'm a Marine's son ...and a veteran...don't start with the "unity" thing unless you mean it...Unity...means everybody...Regardless. Otherwise use another word.........Perhaps...Un-original...that one would fit better.

"Mom"

Not that it seems to matter to most of the “fans” on this thread, but the player( you speak of)’s dedication to the team was never questioned by his teammates. He was a team captain. He decided to rehab a torn up knee, and wore a brace in the last 9 games of the ’02 champ year. Only having knee surgery after his HS career was over. The college he was interviewing for was Princeton. He was accepted there and played his freshman year on their football team. He has since decided to give up football, but this young man will be a major success, in any field of business, he chooses!!!
